Here's the first Christmas that I found with photo of me... The journaling reads:
I really donít remember a lot about this
Christmas photo. I must have been around
18 months old. Iím the one sitting on the
left-side of the chair. It looks like things were
re-arranged to accomodate the Christmas tree
or the photo shoot since thereís an easy chair
in front of the piano. My cousins Ben and Peggy
are also in the photo. While I donít remember
this particular day, I do remember the love and
warmth of many family gatherings over the
years and my little yo-yo doll with jingle bells.

I love this layout! Love the way it is put together, how you've integrated several kits, and I love the title work :-)

So much to love about this layout! What caught my eye right away, was that sweet pic. I also love the great combo of kits, and particularly the stocking (and date tag) hanging from the title. TFS!
